And as an aside, but somewhat related to past contests.... I went to see Aly & AJ in concert; and I had a blast. I even got to meet them and have pictures with them.

Ooh nice! Glad you had a good time.

[Ammi]

…awwwwwwwwww……going to see a favourite artist performing live is such a magical thing …but when you get to meet them also, just such a life highlight that you’ll always hold, Josiah……how exciting it was for them to meet you and have those pics…

[Ammi]

…good luck all on your countries getting through to the final……


…that voting was incredibly difficult but the next/finals voting is going to be impossible…

[Benjamin]

Did everyone vote in time?

[Josiah.]

Jones, Nicky, and Vanessa have not voted.

With Vanessa, she's with Kate in Blackpool; so it's understandable; and I might extend the deadline to this time tomorrow just to be safe, since it won't take real long to make the results video.

[Benjamin]

Nicky again

Jones is understandable, not sure he’s been on the past week?

But at least you have the back up if they don’t vote.

[Josiah.]

Yup

[Josiah.]

Okay, voting is now officially closed, and the qualifier reveal will be posted at 8pm.

[Ammi]

…perfect/exciting but brutal, that really was so difficult in voting…

Hope you feel better soon. I just got over a cold. Hoping that’s it done for the winter.

[Josiah.]

@Ammi @Barry. @Benjamin @jones89 @Kate! @Mystic Mock @Nicky91 @Vanessa

The qualifiers have been announced! And as mentioned in the video, the running order for the final will be announced later tonight into the overnight hours of tomorrow.

And huge props to Gin Wigmore for performing her #04 entry "Kill Of The Night" before the results.

[Benjamin]

Oh yay, mine all made it through for a change!

Not a bad set of results. A few surprises there. Well done everyone (I think everyone got at least one song through?)

I’ll go back to my SF odds and see how I did

[Ammi]

…love the opening track/vid……such a fabulous choice…



….so well done to all of the countries who got through, some truly great song choices……it was such a tough choice…I’m so happy that Tonga got through, it’s my favourite of all the country songs I had and it’s part of my playlist now, I love it so much……and so great to have two countries in the final also…


…thank you for such a slick and well put together and lovely presentation show, Josiah……you really do make it all visually gorgeous…..

[Benjamin]

I realised I’d already done rough final odds so with a quick flick through the songs again, here they are.

Again, this isn’t a prediction of where songs will place, only how likely they are to win. It also doesn’t mean my odds are accurate as we’ve seen over the past years hahaha.

Also, these don’t reflect how I’ll be voting.

To win

Sweden - 5/4
Tonga - 2/1
Ireland - 5/2
Netherlands - 5/2
USA - 3/1
Germany - 7/2
England - 4/1
New Zealand - 9/2
Denmark - 5/1
Liechtenstein - 11/2
Australia - 6/1
Wales - 7/1
South Korea - 7/1
Scotland - 8/1
Bulgaria - 10/1
North Macedonia - 12/1
Poland - 14/1
Czech Republic - 15/1
Türkiye - 18/1
Austria - 20/1
Italy - 25/1
France - 33/1


Winning song to be in English

Yes - 4/5
No - 33/1


Winning country to have won before

Yes - 2/1
No - 6/1

Sad Slovakia went out. It was one of the songs which grew on me over the past couple of weeks.
